NCAA Football 10 Demo Available Today

Electronic Arts is proud to announce
that the demo of NCAA Football 10 is available today for Xbox 360 and PS3. Fans
who download the free demo will experience all-new gameplay features including:

Defensive Keys—Prior to the snap
during the pre-play, hold the left trigger while pressing the analog stick in
the direction you think will stop the run. If you think the offense will pass
the ball, press upward. Or, you can press the icon associated with a receiver
(X, Y, A, B, LB, RB) to spotlight that individual. This will focus the defense
on making sure that the chosen offensive player does not make a play.

Defensive Player Assist—By holding
A (on 360) or X (on PS3) on defense your player will be put under CPU control
so you have time to read a play and decide the best course of action.

Enhanced Defensive Lineman
Moves—With new animations, take control of your defensive linemen using the
right stick to fight pass blocks and put pressure on the quarterback.

Gameplanning—There are six
defensive and five offensive individual game planning options, or you can
globally set your offense and defense. Each option changes the way your team
will perform. For example, be aggressive and try and strip the ball every time
and you run the risk of getting more facemask penalties.

Player Lock—Player lock allows you
to lock on to a specific player in order to control that position during the
play. When you lock on you'll get a whole new camera angle that puts you
closer to the action.

Set Up Plays—Set up plays allows
you to run one play in order to set up another. When picking a play, you will
notice that some plays have a chain link between them, which indicates that
one play can set up the other. Every time you use one particular play
throughout the game, you are setting up for the play that is chain linked to
it. Once the play is 100% set up (as shown in your playbook), the defense is
at its highest likelihood to fall for that play action.

1000 new animations like throw out
of a sack, new shotgun snaps/hand-offs, WR/DB interactions, tackles, double
team run blocks, catches, broken tackles, and slipping in bad weather.
